Livingston County schools will be closed for the second day running today in the wake of a snowstorm.

While many people may think this past weekend's snowstorm is foreshadowing the remainder of the winter, it's not.

"This snowstorm just put us right about average for a predicted normal winter at this point in the season," said Dave Kook, meteorologist with the National Weather Service station in Oakland County's White Lake Township. "We missed out on a lot of snow in December and January to even come close to mimicking last year's winter."

Another inch or 2 of snow is expected Tuesday.

Kook said that the NWS doesn't predict any more snow for the remainder of the week after Tuesday, but suggests people drive carefully.

Depending on the weather situation, the county's school superintendents discuss delays and school closings through a group chat with Livingston Educational Service Agency Superintendent Dan Danosky. The decision was made Monday night to call off classes Tuesday.

"The transportation directors at each school district typically will go out on the roads and report back to each superintendent," Danosky said. "When a majority of the schools decide they want to close, the rest of the county will make the same decision and close."

Sometimes that even means closing for a few days.

"Like I said, it all depends on how bad the weather actually is," Danosky said.

School officials make the decisions no later than 6 a.m. each day and make them in the interest of the students' safety. For updates on school closings, check back with www.livingstondaily.com.
